Hi /trv/

American searching American cities: I'm searching for programming jobs right now. There's plenty, but I want to pick a city where I can live within a 25 minute walk of my job and a 5-10 minute walk of a grocery store. Also affordable, doesn't have to be particularly beautiful. What cities would be good?

I had an internship in Detroit that fit these criteria and loved it, but I'd rather not go back for personal reasons. Also, Chicago seems to fit the criteria but I'm from the area and wanted to try living somewhere new.

Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, NYC, DC, SF, and Chicago are probably your only options.

Raleigh or Charlotte NC might be good for you. Charlotte has a bit of a sprawl but you would probably find a nice wlalkable neighborhood with everything you need. just steer clear of the burbs.

Denver fits all of these and plenty of tech jobs.
Added bonus of amazing outdoor activities year round

Have you looked into New Mexico City?

Not necessarily, many medium/small sized cities are good options. But it seems that OP is looking for big cities, so you might be right.

>trying to push unmarketable garbage cities

Nobody should bother going there unless they are in the military.

Questions

1) What kind of programming? What's your background? Do you want to work in a small web dev shop or Big 4 or a startup or what?
2) What kind of pay do you want? How much are you willing to spend monthly?

I really liked Seattle. I was able to walk to my work near Pike's. My rent was around $1k/month though. You may also try Austin or Dallas-area, Portland, Oakland/Berkeley. If you give more details on your background it'll be easier.
